In this paper, we model DCCP congestion control mechanism and RED as independent discrete-time systems using fluid-flow approximation. By interconnecting DCCP connections and RED routers, we model the entire network as a feedback system called DCCP/RED. We then analyze the steady state performance and the transient state performance of DCCP/RED. Specifically, we derive the packet transmission r...

Ear skin responses to picryl chloride (PCL)-induced contact dermatitis were compared in detail between IQI/Jic mice developed in Japan and BALB/c mice often used for the investigation of contact dermatitis. PCL was applied to the left ear of each mouse 4 (1st), 11 (2nd), 18 (3rd) and 25 days (4th) after sensitization of the abdominal skin with PCL. Time course examinations were carried out on t...

Using a sample of 193 countries from 2010 to 2019, this study investigates the impact institutional quality index (IQI) and information communication technology (ICT) on inclusive growth. The engaged panel spatial correlation consistent (PSCC-FE), instrumental variable-generalized method moments (IV-GMM), simultaneous quantile regressions (SQREG) models assess if differs by economic development...

A new model based on the hybridization of wavelet and bilateral filters for denoising of variety of noisy images is presented in this paper. The model is experimented on standard images, like x-ray images, ultrasound and astronomical telescopic images and the performances are evaluated in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and image quality index (IQI). Results demonstrate that use of b...

BACKGROUND Strengthening primary healthcare systems is vital to improving health outcomes and reducing inequity. However, there are few tools and models available in published literature showing how primary care system strengthening can be achieved on a large scale. Challenges to strengthening primary healthcare (PHC) systems include the dispersion, diversity and relative independence of primar...

Differential evolution algorithm (DE) is an efficient and versatile population-based search technique for global optimization. In this paper, two novel mutation variants for DE are presented. These mutation variants are based on interpolation rules; first variant is based on Inverse Quadratic Interpolation called IQI-DE and the second variant is based on sequential parabolic interpolation calle...

assessment of soil quality is one of the most useful tools for evaluation the soil management condition and different land uses. quantity indices of soil quality are most suitable methods for determination and comparison of soils quality. in this study soil quality indices and selection methods of effective soil properties were compared for evaluating the soil quality in different land uses. se...

In this paper, we propose an optimization framework for rate splitting (RS) techniques in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted systems, possibly with I/Q imbalance (IQI). This can be applied to any problem which the objective and/or constraints are linear functions of rates transmit covariance matrices. Such problems include minimum-weighted an...

Dwindling water resources have drawn global attention to the reuse of treated wastewater (TWW) for irrigation. However, impact continuous TWW applications on soil quality and proper quantification monitoring frameworks not been well-understood. This study aims provides an insight into flood irrigation urban nutritional-chemical attributes potential application multiple indices a corn cropping s...
